Can Meteoplug Cloud data be changed or deleted?

I've created a table with monthly, yearly and all time max/min values.
http://www.meteoplug.com/cgi-bin/meteoc ... 5a5b080004

The other day when we were hammering nails into the fence on which the rain gauge is mounted, it tipped the rain sensor a few times and created false rain and rain rate readings. I was able to delete/change the false readings on Meteobridge, but the changes for the month and year values did not propagate to Meteoplug. Interestingly the change I made to all time values DID propagate to Meteoplug.

Can one-day/one-sensor Meteoplug Cloud data be changed or deleted?

yes, please see "inspect data" page... as with your Meteohub.
You might want to "zero" the data sets that do unwanted rain increase.

Thanks. Didn't look there :oops: . I've read the Wiki yet still can't figure out how to "zero" a range of data.

See screen shot here
After I click "Zero" it just places a "z" next to the time I've entered in the "from" box, but it seems to ignore the additional 25 minutes (1500 seconds) of individual data records.

Also I've pressed the "Recompute..." buttons, but none of the data seems to change.

TIA.

You have to state a start time and number of seconds from then on to delete data.
when you have "deleted" the false data, then you have to "zero" the first
non-deleted rain data, to let Meteoplug know, that it should not compute
a rain total amount for the increase in the rain counter value (last non
deleted rain counter value vs first rain counter value after deleted area).

I think I've followed your instructions correctly and now my data looks like this.

It fixed the problem of the erroneous rainfall rate, but I still see .11 inch of rainfall measured in the 09:00 hour on February 18 on a graph.

Did I "zero" the wrong record? I tried the recompute buttons, and they seemed to have no effect on the data nor the graph.

Thank you for your continued help on this. Hopefully this will help someone else who will likely have this same question in the future.
